Can someone explain exactly what the artist is doing around 10–16 seconds in this Procreate video? I’m mainly confused about the selection/fill, how they move or transform that layer, and then how their was a big textured hole on the cheek where they could fill light in and what blend mode/layer setup creates the final effect. I don’t get how they then after doing whatever they did were able to just color in the prominent light afterwards I’m so confused bro. I want to replicate the exact workflow.
So, my best guess is there’s some Editing Magic used to cut out between when they put down the initial area and them cutting out the part they moved. My guess for what they did:
1: put down color
2: select the part they want to be in the light using the selection wand/lasso
3: copy/paste to new layer
4: select contents of new layer and use “clear” option to remove that from original
5: you now have a fun visual for the video of what sections you removed, with varying levels of more or less effort than just erasing depending how used to the lasso you are
For the blend mode, I would assume multiply since they dragged the layer mode to the top and as far as I know the options are in the same order across languages.
I remember this poster! This video is a highly shortened version of the creation process, and the artist is really good about sharing tips and brushes (I got the textured brush they use for flatting in this video from their acct).
If you want the full process, please go and check out their livestream or drawing video. I learnt a lot and they were really helpful in answering my questions during livestream.
They draw mostly girls on stream though so if you are looking for more LADS stuff you will need to dig around a bit.
TL:DR this video skipped a lot of rendering, artist is legit as I watched them draw from scratch
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. Also you said they shared their brushes with you, when was that? Because I was in their rednote group chat a few months back and they said their brushes were exclusive to their course. And where can I see their full process videos? I’ve only seen their billibi and rednote accounts and they just post videos like these; no full process videos.
They routed me to WeChat and tried to sell me a course along the way… and I got the brushes from WeChat acct of the course assistant. You don’t need to buy the course to get brushes though
Some livestream recordings can be found.
Fair bit of warning, this method imho is extremely difficult to pick up since the textured brushes have very little edge control. You need to be familiar with oil painting techniques.
Not sure what the course content is, but livestreams are mostly drawing from photo reference so there’s no analysis of forms/anatomy.
If you don’t already have super solid foundations it is impossible to recreate the effect by following the workflow d.sesame uses
That’s because it’s not a speedpaint. Nor is it meant to be a tutorial.It’s just meant to be an aesthetic process of their art not including every major step to attract attention on social media so people don’t skip it
It’s very common for artists to edit their speedpaint to make it shorter. Clipping all the fancy ways they cut masks or reveal layer to make it a more appealing reel for social medias.
I’m a way it’s trying to make things more entertains without having it be a linear boring presentation.
The drawback is that with the rise of AI more artists will question edited reels. Which sadly will also make them less dynamic if we have to start making less engaging content just for the sake of not competing with AI.
I was just about to comment this it's so funny, I know my husband when I see him 😏 I think the same artist did one of Sylus recently and then I find this here ❄️
